I think Avatar has a wide range of audience as theres various different sub-genres in the film, this is probably why the film is so popular, i think the main age would be young adults, 15-30 as it is modern, and uses never seen before technology which young people are keen to try out.

There is also a "video game" feel to it, as the story involves the main person playing the character, and video games appeal to more younger audiences.

As you can see this poster is very simple, with the background blurred, making the audience focus on the face of the character, the poster gives virtually nothing away, and only shows that the film is about a blue person/animal. Which makes the audience want to find out more, peruading them to watch the film.
